1. I might although it's not genuine love

this show is pretty bad so far.

[annabanana]

2. Hey. . .this is TV...

[Berry Cool]

3. I'm lovin' it.

Then again, I always do.

[riverdeep]

4. I'm not bashing here, just wondering-

is this your first time watching the show? Because if it is, it may not make sense.

[annabanana]

9. 1) Yes it IS the first time and

2) It makes more sense than anything else I've seen on TV except Olberman, Stewart and Colbert.


We finally get a chance at a mainstream megaphone and you CRAP ALL OVER IT?.
Where am I (looking around furtively, wondering if I've wandered into some alternate universe)

[riverdeep]

14. sorry ab

I think you misunderstood, I was trying to figure out why someone would not like the show, and that possibility came up. I love the show, Stephcast even.

edit: I was responding to Bombtrack.

[bmbmd]

33. She is silly.

Calling her mother a "ho"? That's original. That's why I don't like it.

[Skidmore]

5. I'm with you.

As much as I like hearing a liberal voice on the teevee, I don't think this program is it.

[riverdeep]

6. oh, but send her some love anyway

she may grow on you.

[Botany]

7. Greatest Show in the History of all Shows

Stephanie :loveya: Miller

I even like the flop sweat under her pits .... :rofl:




The studio is not helping.

[sandnsea]

11. Ten times better than Imus

It is great to watch one of these programs that doesn't find the need to use denigration to get laughs.

[oldgrowth]

8. Done

[annabanana]

10. Thank you!. . . .n/t

[Sydnie]

12. Don't waste your time with viewer services ... send your emails

directly to Abrams!

[e-mail]

He is the one that will get the message to the powers that be that we are loving Momma this morning.

Thanks for the heads up, I almost forgot!

[Botany]

13. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Please don't tell the others.

[Sydnie]

17. what a way to start my week ....

eye candy from my one and only Botany!

:hug: :loveya:

[Botany]

19. Mama is doing good

She said she was going to bring her KOEB mug you sent me
to give her.

Isn't her "flop sweat" under her pits sooo cute? :rofl:

:hi: Steph

[Sydnie]

23. I was just thinking that she needed some dress shields

It's a girl thing ... but she could use some all the same.

I am enjoying this. I haven't heard her since we lost Progressive Talk in Boston!

[Botany]

25. They did the same thing in Columbus after the election .....

... when Dems won big. Betya some right wingers are dying having to
see a funny liberal on the public airwaves.

[oldgrowth]

16. Thanks for the email !!!

[rasputin1952]

15. I have to admit I haven't seen her before today, but she is

having fun, and really lights up the place.

One cannot expect every sentence to be a clever quip, but after the very few times I happened upon Imus droning on for what seemed like decades in just a minute of two, Stepahie is a breathof fresh air.

For those who don't care to listen to her, don't; no sweat.

Like all shows, there will be good and bad segments....:)

[maine_raptor]

18. Emailed both (Viewer Services & Abrams). You should too!

About 5 minutes after the show started. :rofl:

For Abrams, this is "audition time", he's looking for someone to fill the Imus slot. I say let's do a DU rally, and email MSNBC in support of Steph. We've got Keith in the PM, let's make sure we have a "liberal" voice in the AM too.

This is a chance, a small one mind you, but nonetheless a chance to change cable news media from the right to the left. Every journey of a 1,000 miles begins with a single step. Let's try to make getting Steph permanently in that slot that first step.

[Democrat 4 Ever]

22. I think she is doing great. Working out a few kinks but the show is

really coming together. Just the thoughts of reichwing world's head exploding this morning is enough to want to see her every day.

Think we had better flood MSNBC with supporting emails. As we speak the freeper world is organizing a email campaign in protest. They can't let a good, funny left wing radio host go unchallenged.

[AlinPA]

26. It is great that she will be on on May 1. Mission Accomplished!

[frogcycle]

20. She is on my "future wife list"

Her show is kinda quirky; a lot of the "bits" get funnier with time - some frequent "rimshot" lines, etc., which a regular listener gradually falls in love with

Jim Ward's imitations are much better on TV; he does facial expressions and gestures too!

One final comment - the way she was talking last week it was quite clear she was thrilled with this opportunity - and nervous as hell. She even joked about needing to stuff a couple of kotex in her armpits. So don't judge too quickly.

They are also obviously tempering the humor - some of their typical material is not exactly sesame street caliber - remember the post here a few weeks ago complaining about the vaginal stretching bit? I expect as they settled in and got comfortable within the adjusted boundries it would only get better - and I am loving it now.

[Fluffdaddy]

27. I only watched the first hour. Thought it was fun an recording the rest....But

not sure msnbc can stand the heat. I'm sure the gop rightwing-nuts are burning up their phone lines with negative calls

[Patsy Stone]

21. And write to Steph and tell her

she looks fab in the magic purple sweater. :loveya:, Mama!

[Botany]

28. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Please don't tell the others.

I even like her flop sweat ... :rofl: sooo cute

[Patsy Stone]

32. Much cuter than Nixon.

:hi:

[bleever]

43. "Cuter than Nixon"

THAT'S gonna maker her day.

:rofl:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

44. I said "much"...

:)

:hi:

[AlinPA]

24. She is great. But the sound effects and those two guys make the show tough to watch.

But.......... just think she will be on on May 1. Mission Accomplished Day. I love that.

[Fluffdaddy]

30. Yes the sound effects are a bit much for TV. Someone should tell her.

[Bluebear]

46. Agreed, sound effects made it unwatchable for me.

I enjoyed her but the constant noise was way too much for TV and for that time of day!

[DAMANgoldberg]

48. Different Medium's

I love Steph, but there is a reason that "Morning Zoo" type of radio is generally not simocasted for TV. She has stated that she wants to stay in radio, and this could be a prelude to having video streaming for StephCast subscribers. Plus, her show wouldn't be as good because it would have to be PG rated, not borderline R.

[H2O Man]

29. Good idea.

This is the first time that I have seen/heard her show. Is it on all week? I think it is interesting, and plan to let the "powers that be" at MSNBC that I am enjoying the show.

[Patsy Stone]

31. Today, Tuesday and Wednesday

I'd love to have them on all week, and that's what I told MSNBC in my e-mail.

Good morning!

[H2O Man]

34. Thanks.

Maybe they will add on Thursday and Friday, like they did for the fellow last week.

Larry Johnson is on now .... few other sources for Larry for the American public on morning shows.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

36. Smirk-o? he toned down his act.

[Patsy Stone]

37. Paul Hackett is the next guest.

She has Larry on quite a lot, and you're right, few others do.

[mmonk]

41. Glad you like her.

She's usually on the radio on the East Coast from 9-12. Hope this is her chance to take over the Imus slot on MSNBC. If you like her, please let them know.

[H2O Man]

45. I definitely

will let MSNBC know that I think she would make a great contribution. There needs to be a progressive morning show on tv.

[Gelliebeans]

35. Called and emailed

KnR

[Swamp Rat]

38. k&r

:loveya: Momma! :loveya:

[progressoid]

Just when I get rid of cable TV she gets a show...DANG

[mmonk]

39. Thought I'd check in.

This is multi-task morning (working, watching Steph, and now dropping in). Great having the crew on TV this morning.

[myrna minx]

40. Way to go Momma, Jim and Chris.

Although, I suggest tomorrow, Momma leans back in her chair with her fingers locked behind her head, her feet criss crossed on the desk so she can show off her hammer toe. :applause:

[patricia92243]

42. I wish they would release her ratings - they can get them daily. n/t

[frogcycle]

47. I have never been able to understand that

I mean, I know they can GET them, but they really cannot be meaningful. Viewership of ANYTHING is based on

(1) advanced hype
(2) word-of-mouth and reviews
(3) returning (presumably) satisfied viewers

Neither 2 nor 3 is applicable to the very first show of ANYTHING! For example there was a poorly-rated Superbowl that was a great football game, but not major market teams. So nobody tuned in, and only afterwards did they learn it was entertaining after all.

Steph might have a bit of an advantage in the (1) categoy since she has loyal radio listeners who got the advance notice.

The reason MSNBC is doing three-day "auditions" with an option to extend to five is just that. They cannot tell anything based on one day. Not even three, really. I expect they figure if a candidate has not self-destructed in three or otherwise proven unacceptable, they'll fill out the week. The three just gives them a chance to yank them without making an issue of it.

If they extend to five we know the response has not been totally awful. I expect the ratings on day 4 and 5 would be the most meaningful.

And of course the feedback is of some merit. They can make a judgement that a candidate's ratings have a prospect of improvement based on the volume and tenor pro and con. So "keep those cards and letters coming" *

*Who can identify that signoff expression?
